Dear Friends:
I begin by again expressing warm thanks to Abraham for the excellent way in which he conducted our tour and smoothed out all difficulties. For my part I found the Congress both exceedingly enjoyable and instructive; it will be for ever a pleasant memory, and is one more proof of the practical value of our Committee.
On returning I found promise of a stormy Business Meeting which takes place on Thursday, chiefly owing to extreme energy on the part of Dr Cole2, who has sent in a number of controversial resolutions. However I called on her and hope through personal influence to be able to calm matters. She has instituted a series of small groups to which I am opposed, as they may heighten the disruptive tendencies by forming cliques. We are countering by proposing fortnight meetings instead of monthly ones, so as to strengthen the unity of the Society.
I found thirteen applications for analysis waiting, including patients from Egypt, America (two), Rhodesia, and India, so that I shall be able to help less fortunate colleagues.
Tomorrow I give a lecture in Birmingham. I have been much occupied with moving to a new house, and shall be able to give more news next time after the Business and the Annual General meetings. The B. Sq. Clinic is, as you know, closed, and Miss Turner is opening one on her own lines. No news from Brill.
With cordial wishes to all for a successful forthcoming session and for personal happiness,
Ernest Jones.
